Rejected petition Make Iain Duncan Smith live on the lowest tiers of benefits for six months.

More details

This is a petition to make Iain Duncan Smith fullfil his claim that he could live on £53 a week; in order to prove it is possible.

We hope that the completion of this task will inspire benefit scroungers -or government ministers as they are sometimes known- everywhere.
